Old and hardly in the way. I read a lot, watch a good amount of streaming tv and drink in the evenings. Whiskey, rum, wine and really good beer from time to time. I'd say I lived alone but there is a cat who follows me around the house.

A very fun headline today: supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered Flávio Bolsonaro to hand in his passports and not leave the country while he's being investigated in a money laundering probe.

El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."

Bolsonaro's loss is not just a loss for Bolsonaro. It's a loss for Trump. For Musk. For Milei. For Netanyahu. For Farage. For Meta and Zuckerberg. For the meat barons, the fossil fuel corporations, and the rest of the neocolonial looters. And it is a massive win for humanity and the living planet.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

Sen. Adam Schiff tells NBC that Pete Hegseth and "anyone who has knowledge of what happened" should testify before the Senate on Ukraine's Starlink disruptions. "Somebody is lying here. Maybe they're all lying in different ways, but we need to find out."

For 8 years and more, Trump has routinely incited violence against his critics during campaign rallies. This is well documented. And NYT has studiously failed to report any of it. Until today, apparently.

its odd to me when liberals insist trump is executing some master plan. the latest version of this ive seen is arguing that he is propping up the acton ad because republicans think it works for them and its good to have the story in the news.

Trans voter to @aoc.bsky.social: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that? AOC:

It sounds a LOT like the GOP publicly recognizes the Russian BOT farms support the GOP! #usdemocracy

Why would Zelenskyy bombing Russian data centers be interfering with the United States elections? Explain that to us, Republicans?

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

This is especially galling given how cavalier this administration has been about deploying the troops and how callous they've been about their well-being while they're there. Sailors are trying to commit suicide on the USS Abraham Lincoln as the Millers soak up benefits meant for the military.
